This offense is killing our pitching staff

Rinse and repeat for the past 3/4 seasons.  Quite impressive to have such a crappy offense for such a massive payroll.  

[JaysFan99]

They were bound to hit a home run eventually. That’s what they do. 

[G-Snarls]

Aw s*** 

[Abomination]

Why the hell were we pitching to Rice at all? Walk him and set up the double play.

[Landry_25]

Rough. 

[james jones]

Game over. This team's offense always make me to kick their asses. Our pitchers are overworked every game

[james jones]

Also they are allergic to sweep series. Almost always they find ways to give away their final game of the series.

[HomeRunHomer]

That's 1 run.

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Well we all know this team sucks in sweep games 

[Landry_25]

This ump is so bad. Wonder how many were overturned, let alone how many he missed overwll

[JaysFan99]

The entire offense sucks for the most part,  but it’s time to put an end to Springer’s career in Toronto. See what Keys can do the rest of the season.

Pretty tough to sweep any series. Jays took 2/3 but would've been nice to bank another win ahead of seeing Tampa

11 challenges, 9 overturned.

The offensive woes is certainly on the players but JS  isn't helping  by keeping struggling hitters in key spots in the line-up.

[decosabute]

Springer will rightly be remembered for the great moments as a Blue Jay, but right now I can't stand the sight of the guy.

If we even had one reliable big bat this season, we'd have comfortably been in the playoffs. The lesser hitters in the lineup have generally been fine and performed to what you might expect overall. But then you have Springer, Vlad, Kirk (obviously better lately) and Okamoto making me want to gouge out my eyes whenever they come up in big spots. 

It's genuinely incredible how lobsided this roster is. The pitching staff have been heroes and the lineup has been attempting to out-villain each other all season.

Keys has been heating up again in AAA lately too

Yeah I feel like we really could've done with winning today, especially as the next six could be ugly. But like you say, sweeps are tough at the best of times, and they're especially tough when you've been absolutely flogging your bullpen to death. I'm not going to hold this one against Little or Fisher - those are the situations we're facing when we've asked all the relievers (not just the leverage guys) to go to the well day after day after day. Probably if we'd had Miles, Rogers and Varland available, I could've seen us win today too. 

I'd take two from the next six and only being three games or less back right now if you offered it to me. From late August we should get back to winning. 

[Landry_25]

Put springer on the IL, bring up keys to DH please.

[glory]

The offense is legitimately trash and having to hope for a Guardians type of run is so frustrating.

[ComeTogether]

1 game back now. 

Gotta keep winning

It's hard though. If you take, say, Springer out of the meat of the order, then who do you put in there instead? We have absolutely no reliable power. Before today, I couldn't remember the last time Kaz had an extra base hit. Vlad absolutely sucks and injured. Sanchez is completely unreliable and a terrible fielder. 

You can't just put contact hitters and rookies in 3-4-5 spots.

I don't blame JS for any of our offensive woes. It's pretty much all on the individuals.

If we somehow make it to the postseason, would this possibly be the worst offense in history to get a playoff spot?

Agreed it falls on the individuals first but as a manager, you only have so many levers at your disposal to incite your team. 

Moving guys up and down (Vladdy and Springer) should have been done more... not because other guys deserve it but you hope it awakens something in them.  Regardless, like you said, players deserve majority of the blame themselves. 

[SeranthonySantander]

Just in case anyone is wondering we are closing the playoff tracking thread.  It’s over and this team blew it. 
 

if you don’t see another post from me here I think you can deduce what has happened to me.

i will miss everyone here and my family

[G-Snarls]

Winning 2/3 in Tampa feels like pipe dream but don't we almost have to?  

Or win 1 and sweep an upcoming series really soon

Winning 1 in Tampa is our best case scenario... lets be real here lol.  

We have like 30 games against teams under .500 to make it up.

They just lost 3 in a row to Baltimore, the worst team in the AL east
